Working a lot of hours at work plus wanting to do a billion other things at once means I’ve been sorely under-productive. Take this for compensation.

This is by no means going to be exhaustive, but I want to take a moment to explain why the notion of Garrus as jealous, possessive, or sometimes violently jealously possessive (especially where Shepard and other potential Shepard love interests are concerned) doesn’t hold a lot of water for me, canonically-speaking.
This got long; more under the cut.

Sci-Fi Protag Fashun
The clear bias of my personal blog aside, I'm curious what people think.
SO
Based on aesthetics alone, which sci-fi viddy game protag has the best suit of armor?

What headcanons do you have for baby and fledgling turians? I personally like the one where the infants have got down feathers. Fluffy babbers
Ohhh, fuzzy kids, sounds bloody adorable! I myself went with kind of a baby bird vibe. Have you seen those things? They look so delightfully weird. Absolute creatures

Kinda really wanna sketch the different ages now tbh. Maybe once i'm less busy

Previous Updates: January 26/27 2022 - Sub!Garrus Column February 9 2023 - Updated Filtering Instructions July 11 2023 - Filtering for non-AO3 fics
February 17 2024
I've added 43 new fics to the bottom of the sheet! The new ones start at Be Your Shelter (row 483). I still have more to add at some point, but hopefully I'll be able to do it in smaller, more frequent doses moving forward.
The Shakarian Fic Rec SPREADSHEET
it’s been eighty-four years
Some of you may know that I read a lot of fic. So Much fic. So much so that several years ago, I started a spreadsheet to keep track of the good stuff.
And I’m finally ready to share it! My rec list to end all rec lists, The Shakarian Fic Rec Spreadsheet.
The current count is over 400 fics and 5 and a half million words. (I only save about 30-40% of what I read. For reference lmao.)
Tumblr media
(There is a random rec generator if that looks/sounds overwhelming.)
Here’s the link!
PLEASE reblog this post to spread the word!

Whenever I revisit Mass Effect 1, I am further convinced that Garrus Vakarian was designed from the ground up to be the ideal 80′s/90′s kid ultimate fantasy version of a badass best friend. I mean… like…
Checklist: - tech visor + eyepatch - his whole head is a mohawk - looks like a snarky dinosaur and/or ninja turtle - comes standard with sci-fi ninja gear in black and blue - basically worships the ground Shep walks on in ME1 - unconfirmed but likely: really good at skateboarding, loves pizza
In conclusion: Garrus Vakarian is definitely supposed to be the dinosaur/alien best friend that 90′s kids have always wanted, and if you play as femshep you get the added bonus of BONING a character designed to be the ultimate nerd BFF, which is like… the ultimate fantasy???

Hey guys, so I took a teaching English as a foreign language course this year and I need to do some practical hours teaching non-native speakers to get my full certification - would anyone here be interested in some tutoring?
I’d love to help people with writing - my specialty is definitely creative writing (let me beta your fics and teach you where you’re consistently going wrong and how to fix it! Or just give you writing tips in general about story structure, pacing, etc), but if you have other writing you want assistance with I can probably help too, so please ask!
I’d want to do the calls over Skype or Discord probably, but let me know if you’d need something else and I can see about it. Video isn’t necessary because any text stuff just goes in instant messages so it’d just be audio, which has the added bonus of reducing the chance of bad lag. If you’re worried about your speaking skills try not to let that stop you - we’d be focusing on writing so that’s what I care about, and as long as I can understand you (or what you mean) we’re good! (And if I really can’t understand you you can just type in the messages :) ) If your listening is weak I’ve done a few hours already with a friend who said that my speaking is ‘pretty’ and very easy to understand, but I can easily adjust myself if you’re having trouble (and/or type something out if you’re really lost).
Send me a DM if you’re interested with:
First language(s)
What type of writing you want help with
Specific goals or things you want to improve on
And if you’ve published fic, a link to something you’re proud of so I can see where you’re at :)
I need 16 more hours, which I can split between multiple people based on needs, so even if you’d just like to be taught one or two grammar concepts or something message me ^^/
